Name: Cheddar-Apple Turkey Salad
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 package (3 ounces) ramen noodles; 1-1/2 cups cubed apples; 1-1/4 cups cubed cooked turkey breast; 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese; 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed; 1/4 cup sliced green onion; 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper; 1/2 cup fat-free poppy seed salad dressing; 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream; 1/4 teaspoon salt

Whenever Luci Knepper of Salem, Ohio takes this colorful salad to a ladies luncheon, she gets compliments. "Even my son loves this...and he doesn't care for either cheese or sour cream. The apples add interest and a little crunch...and you can easily substitute cooked chicken for the turkey," she suggests.
